Arsenal to move for Benfica striker

Rodrigo attracts Arsenal interest

Arsenal are reportedly set to make a summer move for Benfica striker Rodrigo Moreno, according to The People.



The report claims that the Gunners are willing to pay as much as £28m in order to land Rodrigo's signature this summer.

 

Moreno, who has yet to earn a cap for the Portuguese senior side, has been in good form for the Primeira Liga giants this season, and has attracted interest from the Gunner's local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in recent months.

 

However, the Gunners would have to face stiff competition from Inter Milan, who are ready to offer the asking price for the talented forward, with player terms better than that of the North London club.

 

This suggests that the prospect of qualifying for the Champions League next campaign could be vital to the club's chances of landing the Benfica striker in the summer.
